Remedy for Quick Match Predator Queue Times Original Post

Boost what, to lvl 100? Wich most got in qm in 2 days. Or cosmetics? Yeah, so unfair to you.

People can and are escaping it by playing privates with friends. Again, this whole idea is just to please the 1% who dont have friends and are unwilling to socialise. Or maybe people dont like playing with you?

You seem to keep targeting me, you have a problem with my post?
This is about something that is exploitable and must be corrected, like all exploits.
We all want to see this game flourish and grow exponentially…the growth is good…
If we are to see the que times improve, changes will have to be made…
This is still a very new game and it’s too early to say it’s a bad game, poorly rated game and what not because truth is it isnt.
It has alot of room for growth.
Growth you seem to be against.
Do you only play private game? Just wondering

Yeah I only play in Private Matches because of the attitude people have online. So Socratic Method/Devil’s Advocate: You completely remove the ability to gain anything from Private Matches rendering them utterly pointless to play at all. Now there are fewer ways to gain any currency towards loot boxes which is already a brutal enougn grind. This forces everyone to only play Quick Play which if they were preferring to play Private Matches they may or may not be inclined to do. I have quite a few friends who like to play games like this or like GTAOnline but hate how toxic the griefers/trolls are not to mention the sheer number of them. So they prefer private matches. Remove any reward from private matches and force quick play, alot of these types of players are likely to quit.
Naturally, this doesn’t seem to affect those that want to play Quick Play since if they are in PMs they aren’t helping to shorten your queu times. However, if this turns out to be such a significant portion of the player base that it’s actually affecting your queu times AT ALL, then the loss of those players and thus the potential revenue from paid DLC, etc. WOULD eventually hurt even the Quick Play enthusiasts when the game loses even more dev support from not being lucrative enough.
Yes, I realize this is argument is slightly in danger of being a “slippery slope” argument but I still find this preferrable to the overabundant “Straw Man” and “Ad Hominem Attack” Fallacies being argued.

GTA 5 is a open world game…
PHG is an assysmetrical survival multiplayer…

There is absolutely no way it the private game experience Is comparable…

There is toxicity in every online game.
If your reason for having an exploitable mechanic like free “solo” xp/viritanium farm in private game is because of toxicity than that is one really weak arguement. Just saying.

So yea let me go play private game in rainbow six seige and earn a diamond rank because I bought the game and dont want to be hurt by other players who enjoy being toxic…
Your logic.

Doing anything in the private match like just collecting vertanium doesn’t hurt the game. Seriously whats wrong with you? Farm xp omg what criminals. Seriously everyone having the same gear in this game doesn’t harm anything. The que sucks because sadly a lot of people are not playing as much anymore because the game is just not finished. I love this game but im starting to move on and if the content drop at may sucks im leaving this game all together. I hope that doesn’t happen.

Yo you realize the main ppl who play private matches are those trying to get more challenging matches right?

Theres some that farm vert, and those that do go for trophies in private honestly won’t spend too much time there cause getting trophies that way is quick.

So removing that from private won’t help the problem you bring up. You also realize that the matchmaking seems to be bugged as well and that’s a reason it takes so long to get in matches right?

I’m not really for, or against removing xp or trophies from private. It just won’t help like you think it will.

There is no, no, no matchmaking bug. I wait one min MAX every time I load up a game. No Preference. Boom, I’m right into a match.

I really wish people would stop spreading false info.

Putting more bodies in quick match = less predator que time for quick

Hands down, whether that helps a little or alot.

Really? So explain the ppl who get thrown into placing-connecting -matchmaking loops?
Man you got this know it all attitude that’s fkn annoying and it ain’t helpful.

So using logic here and let’s debunk it.

If 5000 players play at this very moment.
Say
2500 want to play predator
2500 want to play FT.
You still have all those predators who didnt get a FT waiting in a long que.
Waiting for the soonest available FT…
It’s common freaking sense.
How the hell do any of you not see that?
If all those players who are stuck in private match for what ever reason , whether it be for avoiding toxicity, farming Xp or trophies.

Your Que time for quick matches predator is still f**ked.
Players will still be waiting between 2 - 30 minutes just to get into a game that may last 2 to 15 minutes .

if anything have it as a reduced rate, like 1/8th of the rate of xp gained.

Even that would motivate players to more quick match.
And it would be fair.
PM players can still get xp and still play in Private and earn something.
Excellent response. If I can double heart this I would.like 1 or 2 xp for every action, 5 for pred hit. 10 for pred kill.
So you still earn but you cant farm it solo.

Actually, my argument was that people who bought the game should be allowed to play it however they prefer not just in the way that serves you the best. That is how open world and assymetric are both relevent. The type of game is irrelevent to the point. The freedom to choose how to play the game without being penalized for your preference is the more important argument. Deciding whether or not players should only be awarded XP or Currency for maybe helping to lower queu times for those who want to force everyone to only play according to someone else’s preferences and not their own.

There are options.
Predator

No preference.

Preference shouldn’t be an issue for Solo’s.

No match making is perfect m8.

Errors in match making is one thing.

Players not getting lobbied for damn near half an hour is another issue.

Pin pointing each issue and isolating what’s wrong to fix to try to fix it is what in trying to do here.

Illfonic has openly posted that due to
More players are playing playing predator que times will be long and that they are working on fixing the problem.

Issue is you can fix that? We don’t have bots.
So I’m presenting a tangible method to try and fix it.
If you have an issue with my logic, that’s your fucking problem. Get the fuck over it and offer something constructive to the debate instead of being a pansy about it.

Eh, XP and currency I get. Reduce I guess?

Trophies nah - let platinum chasers have their fun.

Weapon XP - I used it level up guns I would never use otherwise.

Also its fairly easy to get 5 people together to play, so removing trophies is just not the right move.

I not agree. Xp must be in any mode
I dont have any problem to okay for FT or Pred. Basically every 1 match started full time (both side). And for people who cant find game going play to private matches.

Why take away anything? Let’s just increase the XP and V gain for public matches and keep private matches as they are.

So explain why you got a fucking attitude with me? I fucking told your dumbass that I’m indifferent and it won’t help as much as you think it will.
But I never fkn gave you a fucking attitude.

Seriously why are there ppl who wanna get all fkn rowdy for no reason?

Seriously most of you severely lack reading comprehension.

I cam for your neck because you came for mine. Simple as that.
If you dont like something simply ignore and dont respond.
If you get called out you may not like it.

See?
